I'm excited tody because it is Sir Paul McCartney's birthday! Paul was born on this day and is 66 years YOUNG. I swear the man doesn't look a day over 40. He could pass for his 40's and even young 50's.
Paul is like the coolest person on the planet. He is well becomming my favorite Beatle as of late. First it was John and then it was George and now....it's Paul! I love them all though, even though I never went through a Ringo period but never say never.
Paul and I have something in common and that is we are both Gemini's. Even last year, his new album came out on my b-day. I had the pleasure of seeing this man a few years ago and I can't wait to go again. Recently, he did a show in Kiev which is in the Ukraine. I'm Ukrainian and I want to learn more about where my ancestors came from and my heritage. In a way, I think it's cool that he played for my people in a spot where they declared their independence. I thought it was sweet that he still played his show even under bad weather conditions battling storms.
He also is a wonderful guy because he's so funny and warm with his humor. He also gives to charities (no landmines) and he's all about not eating meat and being vegan. That's not my thing but I think it's cool that he does that stuff.
I hope that he had a fun day w/ his family and probably his new girlfriend (supposedly), Nancy Cheville.
I think Paul really got me to be a bigger fan because I loved him in the Beatles but he was so awesome with his solo career. Wings is a favorite band of mine! There used to be a joke in the 70's about what was the band Paul was in before wings.
I'm not going to make any playlist but I highly recommend starting out with either "Ram" which was Paul's solo album after he left the Beatles or get "Wingspan hits and history."
Cheers! HAPPY BRITHDAY PAUL!
Cheesy song but I love it! "Silly love songs."
This is one of my favorite Wings songs, if not number one! This music video is actually from the "McCartney years" dvd set and I highly recommend getting it. It has tons of great footage and all of Paul's music videos. This man is a genious. I know he still has years of rocking ahead of him!
This is my gift to Paul since he loved Elvis so much and they once said that the Beatles wouldn't exist if not for Elvis. Here Elvis sings "Yesterday" at a rehearsal and I think that is Paul's most well-known song and it's the most covered.
